Imzig

The Imzig species was a sentient^[1] Humanoid^[2] race native to the planet Couronne.^[3] The species differed from base Humans through bony ridges surrounding the formers' eyes,^[2] raised eyebrows, and wider nostrils. At least one was light-skinned, with blue mottles on the face, as well as light brown hair. Utris M'Toc was an Imzig^[1] who hailed from his^[4] species' homeworld.^[5]

When a bloody coup occurred on Couronne, M'Toc, who worked as a member of the monarchical High King's Guard, fled the planet.^[5] In 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire occupied Cloud City on the planet Bespin.^[6] By that time, M'Toc had joined Cloud City's Wing Guard, becoming a leader in the security force,^[1] and he was present on Cloud City during the Imperial takeover.^[5]

Behind the scenes

The Imzig species was created by Utris M'Toc's card in the 1997 Cloud City Limited expansion set of Decipher's Star Wars Customizable Card Game.^[1] According to Star Wars author Stephen J. Sansweet, M'Toc was considered for use in the 1980 original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back but was apparently never filmed^[4] and can only be seen in production photos taken on set.^[7] The makeup was designed by Nick Maley and then later applied by Graham Freeborn.^[8]
